Tofu Mold/Press

cults3d

There a few tofu presses I've seen here. I wanted one with thicker walls and an elevated bottom from box for better draining. There might be one on Thingiverse but I wasn't able to located it. *IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure your soy milk curds have cooled before pressing them. I printed this in PETG, and at 150F it was too warm for the press. This temp caused it to warp the bottom and partial melt some of the top solid layer. I have added a couple images to show what I'm referring to. With the gray background. If your printer is large enough, the lid and bottom can be printed at the same time. Otherwise, I've left each piece separate. I have also included the Blender .blend files so anyone wanting to tweek things can. Supports are needed only for the bottom piece. I didn't have any issues printing the top without them. I chose a 50% infill with 5 layers on top and bottom, but after watching CNC Kitchen's video on infill I think a thinker wall would be stronger and you can get away with less infill.
